Zinc futures bit the dust on Tuesday, with prices tanking nearly 3 per
cent in the domestic market as investors and speculators exited
positions in the industrial metal amidst weak physical demand for zinc
in the domestic spot market.
Further, a surprise in dip in industrial output in Germany signaled
worries over the health of Europe’s biggest economy, dimming the demand
outlook for the industrial metal. German industrial output fell 1.2 per
cent in December 2015 from the previous month, when it declined a
revised 0.1 per cent.
Meanwhile, weak demand from China, the world’s biggest metals consumer,
continued to weigh as businesses, markets and factories in the country
remained closed due to the Lunar New Year holidays.
At the MCX, Zinc futures for February 2016 contract closed at Rs 114.55
per kg, down by 2.92 per cent after opening at Rs 118, against the
previous closing price of Rs 118. It touched the intra-day low of Rs
111.8.
